The fate of Wang Yuanhao of Western Xia

Yuan Hao defeated the Song army several times and obtained countless "gifts". Then, he defeated Emperor Xingzong of Liao's pro-conquest army and won peace on the border.

Although Yuan Hao "submitted" to the Song Dynasty, he still called himself emperor in the country, which was too comfortable to do.

After the death of his mastermind Zhang Yuan, the Han Chinese, there were not many people who came up with the big idea of "long-term planning" for him, and the territory of Western Xia was not small, and it was completely possible to stand on its own feet with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and Yuan Hao, who was once a hero and a great talent, began to pursue pleasure. He disregarded the withering strength of the people in the country, built a large number of civil engineering, built luxurious palaces everywhere, often hunting and having fun, anyway, there were palaces everywhere.

Originally, Yuanhao had already made Ning Lingge, who was born to Theo Toshi clan, the prince, and this person looked cool Xiao Yuanhao and was deeply loved by Yuanhao. Later, Yuan Hao wanted to marry Ning Lingge as a wife of WuShi. Who expected, after the wedding began, Yuan Hao saw that the Wu clan was as beautiful as a flower, and his lust suddenly rose, and he became a groom official, and the prince Ning ling brother hated it too much.

The minister of state at that time in Western Xia was not hiding pang, and this person's officialdom was completely dependent on nepotism. His sister Wuzang was originally the wife of the Western Xia Hao chief Ye Li Yu Begging. Ye Li met the beggars and the whole clan was killed by Yuan Hao, and no Tibetan clan became a nun. Yuan Hao has long known that the Wuzang clan is beautiful, and often goes to the nunnery temple in the name of worshiping the Buddha to meet with the Nozang clan, and from time to time takes her out to have fun.

In 1047, the Wuzang clan gave birth prematurely on the way to accompany Yuanhao, because at that time the imperial camp was rooted in the Liangcha River, and the child born was named Ningling Liangcha. Ning Ling, in the Western Xia language, is the auspicious meaning of "rejoicing". "Two forks" later became a umlaut and became "forgiveness". However, according to the Liao History, Yu Zuo's nickname was also "Ning Lingge", the same name as Yuan Hao's grand prince.

There are books written by southern Song Dynasty people, indicating that Yuan Haofan married seven times: "Yi Mo Mu clan, uncle and daughter also, give birth to a son, kill him with appearance; ErSuo clan, Shi Shuoxiao attacked Yak City, falsely rumored that the war was not, Suo Shi Xi, Japanese tune music, and Xiao Xiao Huan, and Committed suicide in fear; Sandola clan, died early; four Mikmot clan, gave birth to a son Ari, murdered Xiao Xiao, was sued by Eusanger, sank in the river, killed Mikmer clan in Wangting Town; Wuye Le clan (Ye Li clan), Yoga congongunciation nephew. He was long, resourceful, fearful, and had three sons. Chang Yue Ning Ming, Xi Fang Shu, from the Taoist monks to learn, cut the valley, qi death; Ci Ning LingGa (Ning LingGe), the appearance of Xiao Xiao, special love, thought to be the prince; the second Xi Beaver, died early. Six Yelü clans; Seven Mo Zhi Ke clan (無氏), chu wanted to be the wife of Ning Lingga, saw its beauty, took it upon herself, and called herself a new empress. Ning Lingga was angry and killed Xiao Xiao, did not die, slashed his nose, and Xiao Xiao died because of trauma. ”

Li Tao, who recorded this incident, is a famous historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his "Continuation of the Zhizhi Tongjian Long Edition" should be closely studied here, and the Southern Song Dynasty is not far from the Yuan Hao era, the Western Xia still exists, and his information is more credible.

The Minister of State did not hide Pang was very cunning, and seeing that the crown prince Ning Lingge (Ning Lingga) was depressed and his mother Ye Lishi was deposed, he instigated this young man to kill Yuan Hao, and promised to make Ning Lingge emperor after Yuan Hao's death.

In fact, the ruyi calculation of not hiding Pang was well played: Ning Lingge killed Yuanhao, naturally Ning Lingge had to die, and could set up his sister's son Yu Zuo as emperor; Ning Lingge was defeated and killed by Yuanhao, and the new prince was naturally his nephew Yu Zuo. This treasure is easy to bet, and you can win on either side.

Ning Lingge's eyes were burned red with anger, and the Minister of State, who held real power, did not hide the "support", he killed his heart, and rushed into the inner palace with a large knife.

That night, it was the Lantern Festival of the eleventh year of the Summer Ceremony (1048), Yuan Hao had just finished fighting with several beautiful women, and his body was not faded, and he was holding a golden cup and drinking bitterly. Suddenly, a cold wind swept over his face, and Yuan Hao's subconscious flashed, and Ning Lingge's big knife had cut off all of his father's nose.

Yuan Hao woke up drunk, running around the temple, his nose was screaming "Catch the thief". This Western Xia king had cut off the noses of countless Liao people for several years, and he did not expect that one day his nose would also be cut off, and the "main knife man" was still his son Ning Lingge.

Ning Lingge was young and reckless, and when he saw his father's bloody face, his heart was also panicked, so he threw down his knife and ran out of the harem, running into the State Minister and hiding in the Pang family.

Without saying a word, the Minister of State immediately arrested Ning Lingge, and by the way, he also took his mother Ye Lishi with him and immediately executed him.

Yuanhao, if he is injured elsewhere, it is better to save. The big nose was cut and the blood flowed like a flood, which was not only extremely painful, but also could not stop the bleeding, because the blood vessels in the nose were too rich.

Eventually, the giant thief lost blood alive and died.

Yuan Hao was 46 years old at the time of his death, and the temple name was "Jingzong". Before his death, although his words were unclear, he still said that he wanted the chancellor to appoint his brother-in-law Ge Ningling as emperor, and the minister of state did not hide ten thousand natural refusals, threatened and seduced, and finally pushed his nephew to the throne of God, for Xia Yizong, who was not yet a year old at the time.

Yuan Hao was a man, sinister and vicious, and a completely cold-blooded animal, not only killing the party nobles into clans, but also killing mothers, wives, children, and uncles, and as long as everyone was slightly unsatisfactory, they would be killed immediately. In the end, such a cruel evil king was killed by his son, and it was heaven that was good.

It is undeniable that Yuan Hao has a very high IQ, a brilliant nature, and a pioneering territory, which can be called a dragon and phoenix among people.
